Marvelous Market, Mr. Henry’s and Tunnicliff ’s Tavern. Riverby Books owners Steve and Nicky Cymrot were pleased with the event’s huge turnout. “Sales have been brisk,” said Steve. While he could not provide exact figures, he said that this year’s BookFest outsold last year’s. “Mary Z. Gray is the star,” Steve added. Gray’s lively memoir, “301 East Capitol: Tales from the Heart of the Hill,” chronicles life on Capitol Hill in the 1920s and 30s (her family lived upstairs from a funeral home), as well as vivid portraits of her musically talented Hill forebears.
